This time around the guys take the Batmobile for a spin waxing poetically about the upcoming Arkham Knight and past Arkham titles. We shed a tear for our gaming regrets and speculate on which actor was delivered a Mortal Kombat fatality. Plus: How interested would you be in a "Who's The Boss" video game? What sort of hat wear could you get with 50 Microsoft points? And..Why do 2-D fighting games reign supreme over 3-D?

The last week of February was a busy one for MK fans; NetherRealm Studios revealed the epic return of the Brutality and dropped a great looking trailer that showcased some new characters and the game’s story mode. It turns out that Boon and co. weren't finished yet and they are bringing in March like a Shokan Warrior with the announcement that Mortal Kombat X will be coming to mobile devices.

Seeing its release only a year and a half after Total War: Rome II, Total War: Attila is yet another turn-based strategy game in the already prosperous series. Once again, the Roman Empire is brought to life, allowing players to take ultimate control in expanding and defending European territories. Being a fan of all types of video games, I've grown apart from turn-based strategy games in recent years, simply for the reason that there are so many genres out there to play now. With that said, they will always hold a special place in my heart, and getting the opportunity to play the latest offering in the Total War series was a delightful treat. The sheer thought of booting up the game to build my Empire and conquering all that stands in my way admittedly put a smile on my face; but unfortunately, not all gaming experiences are positive, which became painfully evident with my eventual interaction with Total War: Attila.

Maybe it wouldn't have been as bad if the sales person hadn't said, "this is our most popular seller; I can barely keep it on the shelves." My mother and I were in the only video game store in the city. It was in the basement of a professional building and smelled like stale cigarette smoke and BO. For passing grade five I was rewarded with a video game. This wasn't a decision to be made lightly; this would be one of the two games I'd get all year. I can no longer remember the game I originally wanted but I do remember the store didn't have it. Instead, the sales person was recommending something I'd never heard of, a little game called "Mystery Quest."

The US PlayStation blog team revealed a bit of info and some photos of one of the bosses of Bloodborne today. However, they labelled the photos as spoilers. I didn't want to be the guy that ruined anything about the game for anyone, so I put a placeholder pic above - click inside to see just what will have you whipping your remote at the TV in frustration.

Grand Theft Auto 5 has been released twice now, and both the last gen and current gen releases were widely acclaimed. However, with these new PC screenshots that Rockstar released today, it's truly looking like the third time is the real charm.

Last night as the clock ticked down to the midnight release of the highly anticipated 4v1 monster hunting extravaganza known as Evolve, Xbox and EB Games threw a launch party in Toronto to celebrate the game's imminent release. Attendees stepped off the sixth floor elevator and were instantly greeted with some thick foliage and monster footprints. It appeared that the downtown loft space had been magically transformed to the planet Shear, complete with staff decked out in garb ready for some big game hunting. Ammon belts, camo and other accessories straight from Ted Nugent's closet were the threads and animal skulls, furs and weaponry adorned the walls. Lire la suite...

When Nintendo first revealed Amiibo back at E3 2014, many fans of the company were quick to chomp at the idea of the connected figurine line. Skylanders was a hit. Disney Infinity was a hit. Nintendo wanted a piece of the interactive action and they dove in head first.

Music can make or break a movie. The same could be said for videogames. For the last 30 some odd years, as videogames have slowly crept their way into the main stream, we have been beholden to some truly memorable musical contributions that enhance the immersive experience that make video games stand out among entertainment mediums.

Here we are. The next generation of consoles is among us and it is finally time to start thinking about finally unplugging our beloved current-gen systems. Could there be a better swan song for one of these systems than taking a trip back to Rapture?

Dishonored: The Knife of Dunwall is an impressive little bit of DLC. I should emphasize “little” though, as it is a relatively short experience. Just when the story seems to get going it ends - or, rather, it “kind of” ends.

With the exception of the Virtual Boy I've owned every gaming system released by Nintendo. I considered myself well-versed in what the company had to offer until I started hearing about amiibos. The official website didn't help clear up my confusion. "Discover the Power Inside" greets vistors upon arrival. Inside of what? Do the amiibos do something? Can they move around like animatronic robots or are they Nintendo's real life version of chibi-robo?
